Wow, Dustin... just wow! The Abitibi Square looks truly great (and crowded...

)! I especially love that small market clearly visible in the 1st and 2nd pic. Good place to buy some souvenirs from the Marathon! I also like the cars along the avenue. But it got me thinking... Wouldn't Abitibi Sq, being a great place to visit, need some kind of parking lot in the area? After all, we don't want the roads to be unpassable with all the cars parked along the way, do we?

And as to what to do now... I'd say let's make hay while the sun shines! You seem to have a lot of inspiration fo this area, so why won't continue developing this area? I'd love to see it finished!

And one question: In your green areas of squares, parks etc. you seem to have some really good looking flower compositions. I was wondering in which prop pack can you find them? Or maybe they come with the game? I didn't see them in LE though...

Keep up the good work, my friend!

Piotr

Great pics!

I would really like to know where you got those buildings in the first pic and the centre of the second pic!

Piotr (Sheep49): Hi, Piotr! Thank you so much for your very kind words, my friend! I'm so happy that you're enjoying the area, though, I'm not exactly sure just when it will be finished. Just when I think that I'm done adding custom stuff on, I get bit by the bug again! As for your question, I'm not exactly sure which flowers you're talking about off-hand, but if you give me an example of which ones you mean I can check into it for you. Take care!

carkid1998: Thanks! The building is the Opera de Bastille by torremayor, and can be found on the LEX. Hope that helps!

Alex (Driftmaster07): Thank you so much, Alex!

Darra (darraghf): Thank you, my friend!

Luke (Luke09): Wow! Thank you for such a wonderful comment, Luke!

bat: Thank you very much, my friend! I'm glad you like it!

It was a rather busy night for me―doing laundry, running the vacuum cleaner, etc.―but I did have some time to start work on our next addition to Abitibi Square...since that was the consensus on where we should head!

Here goes...

So far, nothing special, but I like to get the basis down before I start trying to add in all the details. Abitibi Square seems to be shaping up as the cultural epicenter of Marathon Island, though!

I'll be running around for a lot of tomorrow, too, but hopefully there will be more progress!

Enjoy your Sunday!

Absolutely stunning lotting, Dustin! I wish I had thought of relotting the Opera de Bastille before putting it in my own small cultural center in Kendall (pics forthcoming over at Nyhaven). You never cease to amaze me! Great work, once again!

darraghf · June 01, 2009, 01:54:14 PM

Great lotting Dustin. I can't wait to see the whole square finished.

Looking good! Abitibi Square is coming along quite nicely indeed! I like the fountain prop on the new lot, can't wait to see the finished product.
